Precisely adjustable joints and fatigue-free steel springs – our Italian originals have nothing but the intended area of use in common with their cheaper counterparts.
It seems so simple, but it’s not. We took over the production of the LISILUX lights 13 years ago. We have now added two black glazed versions to the bases that were originally only available in white, which are glazed by hand – the result was worth the effort.
Toggle switches are easy to operate – even with your elbow if your hands are full.
The centre of this toggle switch is made of porcelain and the toggle lever is made of duroplast. The switch has solid screw contacts. The switching process is also confirmed acoustically by a durable brass switching mechanism.

The English architect John Pawson once said in an interview: “On the one hand, it has a near naked simplicity. On the other, it is soft, almost poetic.“ We have now crafted this archetypal door fitting (based an Hans Poelzig’s concept from 1930) from the most honest of all metals: cast iron. This special task is undertaken by a small company in rural Germany that has been specialising in cast iron fittings for a century now.
The company THPG, established by Manufactum founder Thomas Hoof , was part of the Manufactum Group from 1998 to 2007, where it was responsible for the development and manufacture of Manufactum’s own product lines. Today, it concentrates on the production and distribution of switch and lighting systems made of Bakelite®, porcelain and glass, which are now successful throughout Europe. They are most often used in the preservation of historical monuments, in the renovation of old buildings, in hotels, museums, commercial, public and private new buildings. Everywhere they appear, they are also a statement on distancing from trends and on durability as a virtue.

Belfort
The two apartments are located in the French city of Belfort. They are two projects by Arbr architects. The first object is an apartment located in a house from 1900, which was thoroughly renovated.
Before the reconstruction, the loft-like building was the ruin of a locksmith’s shop from 1904 in Stuttgart’s Lehenviertel district. As the workshop building was in a very poor condition at the beginning, the conversion of the old locksmith’s shop was very risky and there was no guarantee that the project would succeed.
Apartment S is located in an Art Deco villa, which was built in 1931 in Vienna. Since 2013, the mezzanine floor is owned by the owners. During the reconstruction it was important to use as many components and built-in furniture as possible to preserve the original character of the apartment, but also for reasons of sustainability.
